PW's contributing religion editor Phyllis Tickle adapts her bestselling series
The Divine Hours for the spring liturgical calendar with Eastertide: Prayers
for Lent Through Easter from The Divine Hours. It's an outstanding and
accessible introduction to the ancient Christian practice of fixed-hour
prayer, which can seem daunting without a guide so experienced and gracious as
Tickle. Beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending with Easter Monday (the day
after Easter), this manual of prayers and readings will provide spiritual
sustenance during the church's most quiet and joyous season. Copyright 2004
